TRC: Anime vs. Manga

<< < (3/13) > >>

Moon:
I've always been someone that likes both of anime/manga and I can't say that I like one over the other. Unless it's a manga that doesn't have the anime counter-part (such as Kare First Love, Invu, Girl Got Game...mangas that I've read and they don't have animes..far as I know). I personally like the anime, despite the whole filler thing. Especially the recent one where they're all in chibi form.

It was entertaining but I could understand full heartedly that it was completely going side-track from the plot (usually most of the time) where as the manga stays in-plot period and makes the general audience like it better because of it. Lots of animes have fillers, and I had hoped that this anime would be good. I was excited about it and everything. I personally enjoy watching Syaoran animated then non-animated. I'm like that with CCS as well, however there are some parts in the manga I like better.

Anyhow, I've only read a few volumes of the manga and then looked at the scans provided here. Can't say I've read it since I don't know my japanese well enough but what I've seen thus far is interesting. I do enjoy the manga like everyone else but I'm not on the ball with looking over the next chapter because I'm not a huge fan. Maybe thats why I prefer both. I can enjoy them equally without being an hardcore fan.

On account of Moon-chan's post, I edited the poll to 4 options now. Also, you're able to change your vote if you want. We now have the options of anime, manga, both, or neither o_O

The manga. The thing about the anime is that they've watered down the story so completely in order to make it appropriate or something, that I think it has lost all of the feeling the manga has. I was a fan who started watching with the anime, but I never really cared about the characters or anything until I read the manga and then I saw them in a completely different light.

The manga has no really unnessecary worlds or situations, everything that happens is for a reason and everything is tied together. In the anime, they throw in way too many filler episodes that have nothing to do with anything, just wasting time. Then they cut out and make weird changes that give different interactions between characters so relationships are vastly changed for no logical reason in the anime.

Also, the artwork for the manga is a lot nicer, while the character design is okay at best and the animation is atrocious for the most part. The quality control basically is non-existant in the anime. While I understand it is easier to make the manga look better since it is only a few pages a week, there is no excuse for the disgusting animation quality in some of the episodes.

All in all, I feel that the anime does a very bad job at adapting a good story. I like to say that the anime gives you a very, very loose feel for the story, but if you want to feel any real emotion for the characters or see the arcs happen in ways that make sense and aren't diluted for an audience of elementary schoolers, then read the manga.

Emiko:
The animation fluctuates so wildly! Sometimes it's lovely and other time it's just terrible. During the first season there were a whole bunch of episodes where Fai's eyes were so ridiculously far apart. And Kurogane's hair looks pretty wooden sometimes. However, one thing I DO like about the anime is the way they use colour. The red moon behind Ashura in Shura is one example, or the lighting they use in certain scenes to make it look like it's sunset or something. At the end of the doodle episode, for example. So I like that. Sometimes.

But Fai looks skeleton-thin. He was *so* skinny in the first season. It's gotten better, bit still! Sakura's had her pencil-thin moments too. I mean, I know they get a lot of physical exercise, but come on! We've seen them eating. It's a well-rounded cycle.

babypigggy:
I like both, though the anime is probably not CLAMP's best work.

I think TRC is one of those anime taht are pretty much exactly the same as the manga.. unlike CCS. XD
